"I'm gonna take a moment to introduce the band..."
SOUL CITY is all about classic Soul, Disco and Funk from the 60's, 70's and early 80's.
Like the man said “You gotta get up, to get down…”
Our recipe is simple: First select the all-time classics from the Motown, Stax and Phili songbooks, blend with the finest Disco and Funk grooves, then add a pinch of spice from more modern artists who tip their hat to the glory days.
Result? The finest collection of all-night dance floor fillers you'll ever hear!
Here are a few scribblings about the guys and gals in the band...
The first of our front line is lead vocalist BEK LANGSTONE.
Bek is an experienced and supremely talented vocalist who’s honed her craft working with many successful local bands, and we’re delighted to have her onboard.
We think Bek has the voice and spirit which perfectly captures the unique style and sound of the Motown and Disco era.
The second of our 'Glamorous Trio' is WENDY PAGE.
Wendy is a Singer, Songwriter, Producer and Actress who’s recently relocated back to the UK after 15 years living and working in LA.
Her pin-sharp harmonies allow us to recapture the unique multi-layered sound of the Motown and Disco eras.
And, completing our vocal frontline is the sublime SUZY SMITH.
Suzy is one of the most gifted and busiest people we know - she is truly music 24/7 - combining appearances with us with regular duo and trio gigs.
As if that weren’t enough, she’s also a busy vocal coach, choir leader, and CEO of Bittersweet Music which runs regular classes and events throughout Buckinghamshire.
Next up is our geetarist, occasional lead vocalist , and harmony vocalist DAVE LEWIS.
Dave has transformed his home village of Bledlow into the funk capital of Bucks. Not enough that it was already the home of Rock!...
His neighbours just call him Nile - 'nuff said!....
And so to the first of the Engine Room Crew….On drums…CHRIS SMITH
Don’t be fooled by those new-fangled V Drums - Chris has got Old Skool Funk!
Second of the Engine Room Crew…on Bass…let’s hear it for mr. BARRY MALKI!
Barry keeps the Funky Furnace blazing with super-tight grooves.
And completing our super-funky line-up… on keyboards… please put your hands together for mr COLIN McANDREW!…
Colin is the newbie of the band, but he’s no stranger to the live stage. We’re delighted to say he fits right into the Soul City groove!
